It Is Night

It is night, why, why, is it always night? 
Where has the day gone? 
The stars are so beautiful, 
they remind me of you, 
they sparkle like your eyes, like your eyes do.
 Why is it night? Where is the sun?
 Does it exist anymore? 
Yanni, Aria, plays
We are lying under the stars, 
like we always do, 
so close together, your touch. 
Why is it night? 
Out of Africa. 
I am all alone, your kiss, 
so sweet, so soft your lips, 
I close my eyes we are together,
 I look at you,
Infection has set in.
 it is night, 
why are you gone?
